Squirtle the Turtle is Good Company

Meet Squirtle the turtle, nine year old Bo Spicer's Red-eared slider turtle.

As Bo says, "the reason I got her was because I wrote a whole story about why I needed a turtle and convinced my mom and dad."

Bo continued, "She is 7 years old and lives in a big aquarium on Tunstall Road. Squirtle loves to swim and to bask under her heating lamp. Unfortunately, Squirtle doesn’t have many turtle friends and has to make do with human friends. In the summer, we hope to find some other turtle owners and have a turtle race."

Squirtle came to Spicer’s home in December of 2021. Bo loves having Squirtle because she keeps him company and is always there when he needs to talk to someone. He also loves having her because she cheers him up when he sees her. One thing Bo loves about Squirtle is that she always follows him around in her tank and that’s a sign that she loves him.
